Software information
ETS project design and commissioning
For project design and commissioning of this device it is recommended to use the ETS3.0d. Advantages
with regard to downloading (significantly shorter loading times) and parameter programming can be
expected only if this ETS patch version or later versions are used. The advantages consist in the use of the
new mask version 7.5 and the parameter presentation of the ETS3.
The product database required for the ETS3.0d is offered in the *.VD4 format. The corresponding
application program has version number "1.1". For the ETS2 and older versions of the ETS3 a separate
product database in the *.VD2 format is available. The application program for these ETS versions is
version number "0.1".
With regard to the scope of functions described in the present documentation the two application programs
are different! In the application program with version number "0.1", the scene function or the forced-control
positions are not available.
When older ETS versions are updated to the level of version ETS3.0d or to that of later versions, an
additional tool in the form of an ETS add-in is available. This tool is capable of converting older product
databases of application version "0.1", for instance from existing ETS2 projects, into the new application
format (version "1.1"). This feature permits making use of the advantages of the ETS3.0d application in an
easy way and without any changes. The ETS3 add-in can be obtained separately from the manufacturer
and is free of charge.
Safe-state mode
If the device - for instance as a result of errors in the project design or during commissioning - does not
work properly, the execution of the loaded application program can be halted by activating the safe-state
mode. The safe-state mode does not permit controlling the outputs via the bus and by hand. The actuator
remains passive since the application program is not being executed (state-of-execution: terminated). Only
the system software is still functional so that the ETS diagnosis functions and also programming of the
device continue to be possible.
Activating the safe-state mode
Shut off the bus and the mains voltage supply.
Press the programming button and keep it pressed.
Switch on the bus or mains voltage. Release the programming button only after the programming LED
starts blinking slowly.
The safe-state mode is activated. With a new brief press on the programming button, the programming
mode can be switched on and off as usual also in the safe-state mode. The programming LED will
nevertheless continue to blink independently of the programming mode as long as the safe-state mode is
active.
The safe-state mode can be terminated by switching off the supply voltage (bus or mains) or by
programming with the ETS.
Unloading the application program
The application program can be unloaded with the ETS. In this case, manual control as part of the
application program is not available either.
